artifacts from pulsating blood flow. This is particularly important for neonates.

11.5 RESP Alarm message
Among physiological alarms, those belonging to the type that the parameter has exceeded the limits may activate the
recorder to automatically output the parameters and related measured waveforms when the alarms occur on the
condition that the alarm record switch in the related menu is On.
Tables below describe the possible physiological alarms, technical alarms and prompt messages occurring during RESP
measurement.
Physiological alarms:
RESP measurement value is higher than upper alarm limit.
RESP measuring value is lower than lower alarm limit.
RESP can not be measured within specific time interval.
Technical alarms:
Make sure all electrodes, leads and cables are
connected normally.
